Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Being honest and seeking help

The stress of being in debt was keeping me awake at night, was an ever decreasing circle of trying to pay for everything, realising that having a loan ultimately did not help. Firstly it was a friend who was a sympathetic ear and said I should talk to my creditors. Then it was one of my creditors (M&S) who suggested Step Change. The first call was very emotional, I cried 90% of the time as I simply felt so ashamed that I had not coped with money at all well. I was meant to be an adult. I had a job I loved but no concept of budget. And then Covid happened with all the changes it involved - even not being able to carshare doubled my travel costs. It was all a knock on effect as well as my not being money savvy. Step Change has helped so much. I gauged their help by how much I cried each call. The last main call it was only 10% which was from being overwhelmed with how kind and understanding all of the people had been in helping me to sort out a DMP. There was no judgement, no low opinion of how I’d managed so far. (I’d done that to myself already) They were simply brilliant in their approach and I cannot recommend them highly enough as a way forward to resolve debt issues. Thank you.
